Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or related detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own record system.
Messages
If you email or submit a message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law.

Outside Websites
This site links to government record portals, sheriff and jail pages, ODRC resources, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs under their policies, not this one.

Security
